I’m stoked to play Zelda 2, I never had it as a kid and the platforming intrigues me

It’s pretty drat hard but I think it still holds up as a fun game today if you’re willing to put the effort into it.

It's hard. One of the hardest sections of the game is very early on. Some of the enemies are also real pains in the rear end even once you're leveled up, have some spells, and the thrusts.

Announced date for yoshi's crafted world march 29. With all these announcements I wonder if there won't be a direct this month.

Nintendo please work on some system level features and add something so the poo poo-rear end online doesnt suck.

November was also two games if you don't count the SP one.

Zelda 2 and Blaster Master both extremely good though.

Blaster Master Zero isn't really the definitive version of this game. It's a better game, it's a modern reimagining with tighter controls, but it isn't a remake, the map and scenario and powerups are different outside of a few areas. So if you've already played Zero, this has shittier controls, but is definitely different content worth playing.

Blaster Master is also hard because you have a limited number of lives and you're done. No saves, no passwords.

Really fun combat, amazing dungeon crawling, especially in the bitterblack isle stuff, and it has the best spell casting in any game ever made. No other game makes sorcerers feel as powerful and cool as Dragon's Dogma. Look at these gifs






Still probably best on PC where you can use a fast travel mod.

Just started wandersong, and if you need something to brighten your day while having engaging mechanics, that's your game. Single player, but it's simple enough they can grasp it and it's puzzle nature allows for pseudo coop.

If it’s physical you can try removing the latest update from the Switch and re-installing. You will miss out on your character unlocks but probably worth it.

Are you sure it isn’t hardware though? Try different controllers in different ports of your GameCube adapter, try a friend’s adapter if you’ve got one. It does sound like hardware as it’s a very odd software glitch to have! Are you moving the GameCube adapter at all during very animated smashing? Because jerking it around might cause a problem. I always recommend unplugging everything, and then procedurally going through all your components to try and find the one that’s causing the error.

Ok, I did more extensive testing and it seems to be the second port on the gamecube adapter, even though I have had the same problem with ports 3 and 4 one time in the past, I couldn't replicate the error with them through more testing. It's possible the adapter is just giving up the ghost slowly.

Since this was 15 pages ago, the problem I'm having is that my gamecube controller's A button doesn't work within battles in Smash only. Even if I pause I can navigate and select menu options normally, and navigating menus always works normally. Very odd.

Last question, my copy of Smash is digital, so if I delete and then reinstall, is there any way to keep my saves?

i didn't see your first post about it but I've also had this problem and yeah we "solved" it by just using a different port since i only have three gamecube controllers anyway

So I got a kick rear end bonus and want to get a Switch, probably 80% to play Smash. It'd be my first new console since the Wii. Any suggestions on the best place to snag one at this point? I imagine the holiday bundles and whatnot are basically done.

There's a deal on massgenie for a Switch, Smash, and a pro controller, but IDK how reliable that site or the deal itself actually are.

Just wait until Pokemon Switch is just casually dropped.

Honestly pretty excited about this. I finally played Robobot and it was great, and I really do like Kirby games. I like how the 3DS is picking up old Wii games like this. It's not my preferred medium, but when it comes to touchscreen things, I far prefer it to the Switch.

Yoshi seems fine but something I'll put off for a long time probably. I adore Yoshi's Island, but while the style is super cute in these new ones, it's almost a bit much.

Yeah, it doesn’t really play as a Kirby game at all and it’s super easy even compared to the rest of the series. The new port is adding a harder mode though I believe. I would have been more interested if it was on Switch, I’m getting really sick of the 3DS.

It’s still fun. I’d rate it below those games though.

It skews really young, even by Nintendo and Kirby standards. It feels like it was designed for preschoolers.

Any goons here think that the pro controller is a must-have? I’ve been thinking of getting one but keep seeing posts online that the dpads on these things are messed up. Seems to be an old issue, but is it still applicable to the ones produced now?

Joycons are great but I prefer using a full size controller if I can.
